Rigs & Test Animations

I've been working on learning how to rig cleanly, I need to be able to make rigs that other people can pick up and use. The first one is a facial rig for one of the characters in the senior project I'm working on, the second one is a 4 legged rig for the second character (an alien).

Krag Running

So, after 4 days I decided my week of mimes wasn't doing what I hoped it would, it did however confirm my suspicion that vidref is a dangerous road for me and I tend to follow it WAY to closely. I might go back to it later, but for now, here's a dinosaur:

Hacky Sack and Koko

For an Animation Portfolio class this semester I was tasked with, a physical action and a quadruped walk cycle.

I went with Hacky Sack trick called "Drifter"

And used the Koko Rig for the quadruped walk cycle

Free Helium [Remastered]

I got the time to make some changes to my second Junior Project, fixed up the colors, a little bit of the animation, and the rendering/compositing process.

Some "Things"

Last semester I needed a break, that break coincided with George Michael's "Careless Whisper" getting stuck in my head for about 2 weeks. So this happened.

This semester we had a lecture on how to breakdown a whip action and were encouraged to try it with a spine. I took it a little too far.

This is what happens when I'm left to my own devices.
